Effects of finite strains in fully coupled 3D geomechanical simulations [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Numerical modeling of geomechanical phenomena and geo-engineering problems often involves complex issues related to several variables and corresponding coupling effects.

Parameter estimation and treatment optimization in a stochastic model for immunotherapy of cancer [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Adoptive Cell Transfer therapy of cancer is currently in full development and mathematical modeling is playing a critical role in this area. We study a stochastic model developed by Baar et al.

A nonlinear mixed‐effects modeling approach for ecological data: Using temporal dynamics of vegetation moisture as an example

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2019
Increasingly, often ecologist collects data with nonlinear trends, heterogeneous variances, temporal correlation, and hierarchical structure. Nonlinear mixed‐effects models offer a flexible approach to such data, but the estimation and interpretation of ...

A mixed model approach for structured hazard regression [PDF]

open access: yes, 2004
The classical Cox proportional hazards model is a benchmark approach to analyze continuous survival times in the presence of covariate information. In a number of applications, there is a need to relax one or more of its inherent assumptions, such as ...

Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Modeling of MNREAD Data

open access: yesInvestigative Opthalmology & Visual Science, 2008
It is often difficult to estimate parameters from individual clinical data because of noisy or incomplete measurements. Nonlinear mixed-effects (NLME) modeling provides a statistical framework for analyzing population parameters and the associated variations, even when individual data sets are incomplete. The authors demonstrate the application of NLME

A Bayesian Nonlinear Mixed-Effects Disease Progression Model [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Biometrics & Biostatistics, 2015
A nonlinear mixed-effects approach is developed for disease progression models that incorporate variation in age in a Bayesian framework. We further generalize the probability model for sensitivity to depend on age at diagnosis, time spent in the preclinical state and sojourn time. The developed models are then applied to the Johns Hopkins Lung Project

Predicting patterns of terrestrial lichen biomass recovery following boreal wildfires

open access: yesEcosphere, 2021
Increased fire activity due to climate change may impact the successional dynamics of boreal forests, with important consequences for caribou habitat. Early successional forests have been shown to support lower quantities of caribou forage lichens, but ...

Estimation of stand crown cover using a generalized crown diameter model: application for the analysis of Portuguese cork oak stands stocking evolution

open access: yesiForest - Biogeosciences and Forestry, 2016
A generalized non-linear tree crown diameter model was developed with the aim of allowing the computation of tree crown diameter over a large range of tree dimensions, and allowing its inclusion in forest growth and yield models. The model was formulated

A Bayesian semiparametric latent variable model for mixed responses [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
In this article we introduce a latent variable model (LVM) for mixed ordinal and continuous responses, where covariate effects on the continuous latent variables are modelled through a flexible semiparametric predictor. We extend existing LVM with simple

Parameter Estimation of Population Pharmacokinetic Models with Stochastic Differential Equations: Implementation of an Estimation Algorithm

open access: yesJournal of Probability and Statistics, 2014
Population pharmacokinetic (PPK) models play a pivotal role in quantitative pharmacology study, which are classically analyzed by nonlinear mixed-effects models based on ordinary differential equations.
